I totally agree. I'm embedding it for a closer second look: Do you think it was shot after the concert when they came back to their hotel room? It seems very intimate to me....LUV IT! Isn't it winter in Aus now?? It is winter in Australia now but this was taken in Osaka. |

I still think Adam has the Idol spot. It was just something he said, how he said it, the tone in his voice, the way he lifted his brow. This is all I'm going on but it gave me a strong feeling that is still with me. (It was an interview in July I think at a radio station and he was told by the interviewer something like "now that your out of Idol" and it was Adam's response that convinced me.)

If NM gets added to the judging I'm still thinking Adam is their guy or at least one of them. Next to the two Diva's he'll be so normal, lol. And since NM would seem to put Randy out for sure then Adam would be the connection to the past. Need to have someone who knows if a song has been sung 100 times before on the show. I'm fine with Adam not being the lightning rod especially as my hope is for him to be able to show the world his not so OTTness. He'd love being on with the two of them and he wouldn't do the oneupmanship that Adam Levine pulls over Christina on the Voice. Yup! Everything ^^she said^^  I think Minaj getting this, if she does, make Adam's chances ten times better. Actually, I think Adam is already signed and signed around the time of the PopCrush rumors that Shosh squashed. That would be the same week Minaj signed, if we go by her Tweets of August 1st! I think the hold up has been their 4th person and I am thinking it will be a country guy. I was hoping ffor Pharrell, but if Idol goes with 3 people of color on their panel, I will be shocked. With Mariah and Nicki, they need someting to make middle America and their huge southern audience happy. Hence, a country guy! 100% agree that Adam is their link to the past! On the Crazy Train since 2009 and loving it! Makes a lot of senses why they're eager looking for a country star as one of the judge. |

The latest twitter buzzing is that Adam is now following MariahCarey.....hmmmmm.....the plot thickens If that's true, Adam knows the fans will know... and make assumptions. He is a tease, but he would never break our hearts... Sooo 8-) ??? : OMG! He is sooooooooo playing with us!! LOL!! :4OMG: |

The problem with these calculations, as I see it, is that Adam does not 'fit' US pop and these sorts of choices have not worked so far, with this album. Perhaps it is time to go with what people like rather than what we 'think' is radio friendly. Radio is not 'friendly'. It is a bully. You can only win with bullies when you challenge them, or decorate their a## with gold. Where would 'Rolling in the Deep' have fit re pop radio...? I have thought this since the choice was made for NCOE (Totally against it) that radio friendly needed to be thrown out the window and just release Adam's "sound."; Even if NCOE made it, it sounds nothhing like the rest of the album. Sorry, but there is no funk in NCOE. I agree, with you dancygeorgia, that Shady totally reminds me of Rollin in the Deep! Quite a few unusual songs made it on Pop this year. And if RCA had gone with something more original, I don't think we'd be worried about radio right now. , or anyone else--I've been meaning to ask forever: What do people on Atop mean by "Adam's sound" or "it doesn't represent the album?" The songs on both albums are so varied. Except to me most of the dance songs sound pretty similar because--well, they are. Or is it the lyrics you are referring to? To me, OOL doesn't sound like TP, Cuckoo doesn't sound like Broken English, Kickin In doesn't sound like Chokehold, PTL doesn't sound like Underneath or BTIKM or Naked Love. I'm not being snide--I really don't understand what people are talking about when they say a song doesn't represent Adam. I don't think I could choose a song off of FYE that represents that album either. They are mostly very different from one another (except for Pick U Up and IIHY, which are the same speed of dance song and in the same key). |

They are mostly very different from one another (except for Pick U Up and IIHY, which are the same speed of dance song and in the same key). FYE, "Yes" is very eclectic with a range from very pop to rock. Trespassing, except for NCOE, has an underlying funkiness. It's the bass line in most of the songs. Gives the songs a "nasty" (in a good way) funky vibe. It's what he said he worked on so hard to get and it's what he came up with when he first worked with Pharrell. (Not counting the bonus tracks here because a few of them are not very funky, like Take Back & Map. Both of which I love anyway!) |

I am ready to be stoned to death now ;D |

He's so playing with us. No Idol I'm tired of this idol speculations too and so ready for Fox to announce who and who. However, one think we know about Adam is he's not going to follow someone on twitter just for the sake following ;D. Either they're his close friends or work related. And I think we pretty much get the idea that she's not his close friends  |

Just when I made peace with Adam not being on Idol, he has to start following MC.
